Watch: Allen Iverson reacts to his 76ers statue

By Andrew Kulha | Last updated 4/12/24

Allen Iverson is an NBA legend, there's no doubt about it.

He's also one of the legendary Philadelphia 76ers. No, he didn't bring a championship to Philly, but he represented the franchise and city in every way.

Simply put, he was an icon. From his signature crossover to his tattoos and style in an era that didn't embrace it, to the stepover.

Everything Iverson did was a statement, which makes it even funnier to watch him react to the unveiling of his new statue outside of the 76ers' practice facility.

AI in his prime was a character, and he certainly still has that charm.

The man they called "The Answer" was the NBA's MVP in 2001 when he led the 76ers to the NBA Finals in a matchup with Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and the Los Angeles Lakers.

He was an 11-time All-Star, a four-time scoring champion and is undoubtedly an NBA Hall of Famer.
